Dice Thanks for your contribution and wished it worked out better Good Luck

Contribution? What has he contributed since 2008? He gave the team four years of nothing.

I was very happy with the 33 wins the first two years. IMHO I believe as is the case with most TJ surgery cases the elbow was an issue right along and the main reason for the issues the last years. Thus I thank him for the contribution and wished it had been better.

Before running into Valentine, Dice was 49-30 with a 4.25. He might be good enough so you don't need to promote Bauer.

I believe he would have had more success if Francona and Farrell didn't mess with his way of preparing to pitch. They changed his routine and consequently he became more and more uncomfortable. I hope he realizes that Francona will have him on a rigid pitch count, probably starting out with 20 pitches and working up to possibly 60 as the season goes on...lol

I tend to agree with you on that except for one point. I don't think it was such a good idea for Dice to pitch for japan in the WBC. he never really had a spring training with the sox. agreed?

Nothing was worse than seeing that loser Wastefield and his goofball pitching. At least DiceK had two solid years as a starter on teams that won a division title and a WS title and reached game seven of the ALCS in the 2nd year on DiceK's contract. I'll take DiceK for 1.5 than that good ole boy bum Wastefield for twice that amount to throw those goofballs to the backstop.

And Wake was on 2 WS championship team and played a vital role in both...The Sox have a couple "goofball" pitchers in the minors. One is at AAA this year. We traded Lars Anderson for Steven Wright. Not the comic :)

I think Wake might have stayed 1 year too long, but to say you would take Dice over Dempster is pretty funny...
